Greifensee, Switzerland—[DATE] — Every filling process is subject to influences that can cause the weight of packaged goods to fluctuate. However, these influences must not be allowed to cause the net weight of even a single package to fall appreciably below the stated net weight based on limits generally set by government legislation.
A new METTLER TOLEDO guide “SQC Guide to the Control of Filling Processes” has been designed to help cosmetics manufacturers choose the correct form of filling process-control for their operation. It also contains a helpful glossary of terms to help improve the understanding of this concept.
Chapters Include:
- Filling-Process Control
- Statistics in Filling Process Control
- The Decision-Making Routes
- The Legal Requirements
- Filling-Process Control Glossary
Usually, under-filling is avoided by overfilling to a safety margin. However, systematic overfilling can prove costly over time. Additionally, quality managers must make decisions about issues such as whether spot-checks are sufficient or 100% of packages coming off a line must checked to ensure legal net-content limits are met.
